About Enkidu: In ancient legend, the people pleaded with the gods to deliver them from a ruthless king. From out of the wilderness, the gods brought Enkidu, a wild man who confronted and eventually befriended the king in order to make him a wiser leader and better person.
Today, our wine making embodies Enkidu’s spirit of wild and principled purity. Sustainably farmed grapes paired with minimal cellar intervention help us create consistently delicious expressions of our Sonoma Valley home. We believe the best wine is not an exclusive or industrialized status-symbol, but a duet between ourselves and nature. Join us as we seek new expressions of this wild and ancient harmony.
